Involvement
The Involvement Ministry facilitates the organization and recruitment of Memorial Road members for works of service using their God-given abilities for His purposes. We also work to ensure those new to Memorial Road become an accepted, nurtured, active part of our church family.
How to Get Involved
God has given each of us one or more spiritual gifts – special abilities which are to be used to bring glory to Him by helping to unify His church and grow His kingdom.
The spiritual gift assessment test is designed to help you identify those special gifts. The test links contain instructions about how to input your results into our Online Community. The online test is simply a way to save time in calculating your spiritual gifts results. It will calculate your score in each gift area as you answer the questions. After using it, you will still need to fill out the “Passions” and “Abilities” sections in the PDF document or the Online Community.
You can also view all the volunteer positions available in our various ministries and use your test results to help pick a volunteer opportunity for yourself.
